Silicon ( /ˈsɪlɨkən/ SIL-ə-kən or /ˈsɪlɨkɒn/ SIL-ə-kon) is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14. A tetravalent metalloid, it is less reactive than its chemical analog carbon, the nonmetal directly above it in the periodic table, but more reactive than germanium, the metalloid directly below it in the table. Controversy about silicon's character dates to its discovery: silicon was first prepared and characterized in pure form in 1824, and given the name silicium (from Latin: silicis, flints), with an -ium word-ending to suggest a metal, a name which the element retains in several non-English languages. However, its final English name, suggested in 1831, reflects the more physically similar elements carbon and boron.
Silicon is the eighth most common element in the universe by mass, but very rarely occurs as the pure free element in nature. It is most widely distributed in dusts, sands, planetoids, and planets as various forms of silicon dioxide (silica) or silicates. Over 90% of the Earth's crust is composed of silicate minerals, making silicon the second most abundant element in the earth's crust (about 28% by mass) after oxygen.
Such a strange parade without destination,
the last mascaraed with a headshot collusion,
hard to breath rebellion, when you're trapped like a spider,
such a strange parade, here they come, can you hear them?
I am the darkness,
I am the light,
I am what's wrong and everything right,
I am the ocean ready to wave,
to start at the end of a silicon day.
Just a passing phase, ten million approaching,
like a shotgun graze your silicon's here,
oh, now, I will say what you want.
I am the darkness,
I am the light,
I am what's wrong and everything right,
I am the ocean ready to wave,
to start at the end of a silicon day.
I am your conscience, and I am your curse
I am your last breath and I am your first
I am your symptoms and I am your cure
I am your standing and I am your fall
I am the darkness,
I am the light,
I am what's wrong and everything right,
I am the ocean ready to wave,
to start at the end of a silicon day,
